Cycling in Waterloo Region

[ijmorlan]

A 17 year old kid (described as a 'cyclist' in the article) was killed by a 20 year old man (described also as "driver") last night. The killer fled the scene in a damaged dark grey 2012-2017 Chevy Sonic, anyone with information is asked to call crime stoppers:

And before anyone complains about my terminology as being 'angry', it is merely 'correct', the child is dead, as a result of the actions of the man, ergo the man killed the child, ergo the man is the killer.

If the weapon was anything other than a car, nobody would bat an eyelash at the use of the word “killer” (although the police would say “suspect”). So, I conclude that your terminology is entirely fair. As soon as one sees it, the usual media practices start to seem really weird.
